Thanks to this net of ways is possible to covering them in long and wide during all the year, thanks also the meek climatic conditions. So to be ableExcursion across the Pisan Mountains to explore and to know the environment, and admire the natural beauties they can offer to the excursionist. The valley called "pretty valley", which is turned at the sea, and is covered at the shoulders by the Pisan mountain, is strewed with ways which so short or long, they always introduce with splendid views, furthermore the crossed resorts, are interesting both under the point of naturalistic view, ambient, historical, artistic and social economics. The valley is wound prevalently along two torrents, the Zambra of Calci and the Zambra of Montemagno, which, thanks to the energy which owns his water, make go the wheels of beyond a hundred watermills, oil mills and other factory in the valley, even if it is possible to see some signs also today. The departure point for the various routes is generally the council place of Calci. The tourist that covers the paths of our mountains, it will find some signs coloured of white and red on the ground, which has been realized by the section of Pisa of the Italian Alpine Club in cooperation with the provincial administration of Pisa and the six interested councils.

   

 
The system of signs consists of red white signs on the ground, some which with its numeration, according to the rules adopted by CAI in compliance with the Tuscany Area.Indicative and Informative notices Furthermore, indicative and informative notices are present, along the ways and in the lived centers from where these branch out. The system of signs net leans to an axial way or -0-0-, that is managed by the CAI of Pisa, while the other ways are managed by the common individuals; this are marked by one or two digits preceded from zero, to differentiate them from whats CAI directly manages in other mountainous groups.
Ways on the Pisan Mountains are divided into enclosures or "rings", from -01- to -08-, and open or of connector, from -010-to -045-. The maintenance and the signalling of these ways are ensured in the time by the corporations mentioned below, while as regards all the other paths it is not instead possible ensure the practicability state. For example many historical muletracks, a time very frequented, are today unobtainable, narrow paths and also a some cartways if not frequented and cleaned up whithin little time he to cover with branches completely with briers or brooms, in the dirt roads deep furrows can be produced by the rain waters.
